Eagles Make SNEAKY Good Signing...

The Philadelphia Eagles make a sneaky good signing off of a division rival's practice squad ahead of their Week 6 matchup versus the Carolina Panthers. On the heels of Jalen Hurts' out-indefinitely status, we should have seen this move coming. I'm your host, Colin Kelly. Welcome to Eagles Digest. In today's video, we are going to react to the signing of one Joe Milton off the Cowboys practice squad to the Eagles' active roster. Why we should have seen this coming. why it makes all the sense in the world, particularly when you consider this Eagles injury situation.

It broke today. Courtesy of Jordan Schultz, the Eagles are signing quarterback Joe Milton off the Cowboys practice squad into their 53-man roster for sources. Joe Milton, this is a guy who has very limited NFL experience, is in his third year, did however start a game with the New England Patriots week 18, final week of the year. Yes, you're not going up against the absolute strength in terms of rosters, in terms of opposition at that time of year, nor are you playing with the best teammates, but Joe Milton, 241 passing yards a passing touchdown 75 plus percent completion percentage 8.3 per attempt also had a rushing touchdown in there joe milton's game is one of freak athletic ability an absolute rocket of an arm has some ability as a power runner as well it's a very intriguing type of play this comes at a huge point a huge turning point in this Philadelphia Eagles season and you consider GM Howie Roseman look he's drawn criticism from myself included how he handled the quarterback situation heading into the initial 53-man roster to start the season you're talking about carrying four quarterbacks, Andy Dalton then you finally move on from Dalton about a week and a half ago and then of course what happens, the timing very unfortunate, Jalen Hurts, the injury, so you were bound it was inevitable to add a quarterback but why do you add Joe Milton because he presents some upside. I'm taking Joe Milton over Andy Dalton on my team every day of the week, twice on Sundays. Look, Tanner McKee is the starter now. Moving forward, this is a perfect opportunity, though, for the Eagles with a new quarterback to refine the scope of their playbook, understand what Tanner McKee does, or rather doesn't do compared to Jalen Hurts, utilize that, but also get some outside perspective from Joe Milton And coming from a division rival as well, who's been under McDaniels in New England as far as offensive minds, who's been under Schottenheimer now. I really like this Philadelphia Eagles move, but everything has to now be framed under the guise of this schedule moving forward. And when you look at the two and three Philadelphia Eagles taking on the Carolina Panthers, and then a Cowboys game thereafter, another divisional game with the Commanders, then the Giants at home, then you got that bye week in between. everything now, to me, is going to be pre-bye versus post-bye. And Joe Milton, depending on how things go, he could get a look. He could certainly get a look or two the back half of this season. But let's focus on the here and now. And we are talking about the Philadelphia Eagles going up against the Carolina Panthers, courtesy of Cowsheet. Thank you for sponsoring today's video. With the Jalen Hurts news, they've gone Barkley now out as well. It is heavily tilted in the favor of the Carolina Panthers. There's now 62% probability to win this matchup. The beauty of Kalshi, though, is you're trading directly against other users, not the house like traditional sportsbooks. You're buying yes-no contracts on the outcome of events related to politics, weather markets, but of course sports like your Philadelphia Eagles. When I think about how this game is destined to go, when you think the sky is falling, you of course lose your star quarterback, Jalen Hurts. I still think this Eagles team at home, coming off of last week of crushing loss in London to Jacksonville, I think they score some points to put up the Eagles' offense. I think it's simplify, simplify, simplify for a guy who can pass within the pocket, very tall, not as athletic, but Tanner McKee with a Devontae Smith back, most importantly. I think this Eagles' offense is able to at least move the ball down the field, potentially playing from behind as well. I like this game script. The Eagles to go 18-plus points versus the Carolina Panthers. a $25 yes trade to pay $49.38 and the beauty is if you're interested in Kalshi using the link in the description or the pinned comment sign up with code digest nfl to get $55 added to your account instantly when you trade your first $25 going back to just this schedule here the eagles home underdogs first carolina not even looking that far ahead if you go at two and four versus three divisional games then on the horizon i mean that's that's the season so we could be seeing a lot more Joe Milton i think than maybe some people are thinking or envisioning it's just already been a crazy weird season twists and turns they have the quarterback position effectively or especially under the under the microscope it's a fascinating time but guys we got to get a football game that is going to be played and my oh my we prefaced at the start of the week the first injury report on tuesday wednesday was unbelievable and it's still a shopping list worth a crazy receipt worth of players but it's a lot better than what it had looked unfortunately though Saquon, Michael Carter, Alex Hunt, Jalen Hurts, Will Shipley out typically also as a paper move on the IR unfortunately but then AJ and Panessa as well doubtful you don't see doubtful very often but certainly doesn't bode well for his status Landon Dickerson, Drew Kendall both dealing with the knee injuries but both were limited questionable designations going into this game the eagles potentially getting some offensive line boost as well which i think furthers to this offense i think looking maybe better than sky is falling than maybe some people might think this week versus the carolina panthers that don't have the most stout of defenses to be sure in terms of the Panthers they're an offensive team so having a Zach Bond full participant is big time notably you've got Jihad Campbell Jalen Carter Jonathan Gannon full participant as well do not carry injury designations nor do Wicks and DeVonta Smith so the Eagles offense relative complement fuller certainly compared to last week the last couple weeks as far as weaponry so how this game goes it's going to be higher scoring maybe than some people anticipate Bryce Young, Tetairo McMillan, Brad Idzig, Chuba Hubbard They're cooking in Carolina, so the Eagles have to respond And I think they do Speaking of Tanner McKee, honing in on the limited sample we have of Tanner McKee what does he have success with? How about over the middle of the field? A little bit different than Jalen Hurts as far as tendencies. And this, I think, bodes well for a Makai Lemon You talk about quick hitting plays, on-schedule passing I think this is what we're going to see. and it bodes it bodes well for this Eagles offense as far as i think putting up some points putting together scoring drives at least and of course no one other than DeVonta Smith the absolute monster of a wide receiver who's just blossomed and blossomed and blossomed just a massive massive boost to this Eagles offense i want to just focus in or wrap up on as far as the Eagles chances starting defensively it's huge having Jonathan Bernard full participant good to go no injury designation because we know you're going to be without Jalen Hunt. McFangio made it clear beginning of this week was going to be a miracle. But now A.J. and Panessa, looking like he's not going to play due to a back injury? This Eagles defensive front, you can't be carried by Jalen Carter for the foreseeable future. If you want to have a chance at affecting the quarterback consistently, giving yourself a chance to win, quite honestly. I think, Bernard, it is the most important as far as injuries on the defense side of the ball that were somewhat questionable. We knew a Jalen Carter played last week, going to be good to go here. But Bernard, I think, could be an X factor. For a quarterback in Bryce Young, who people need not sleep on, he's smaller, but he is not shying away from any moments to start this season. He's able to maneuver the pocket as always, getting the ball out extremely quick. So the Eagles' defensive front, whoever's healthy, they've got to be on their A game. Guys, on that note, I want to hear from you. What is your pulse with this Panthers game? A check-in, once again. How confident are you that the Eagles find a way to win on Sunday? One being least confident, five being most confident. I'm on the neutral, about a three. But honestly, as the week's going on, I'm actually kind of skewing more towards 3.25. I think this Eagles offense so much has to change now. You are forced to change as a result of all the turnover, all the crazy offensive line announcements the past week, trades, now Jalen Hurts, building around the quarterback. As far as game planning, the defense on notice, a little bit at a disadvantage. Well, you know what you have in terms of Tanner McKee, get Devontae back, Makai Lemon blossoming into his own. I'm a little bit more positive than I have been to start the week. But guys as always drop your comments down below. I'll see you in the next one. Have a great weekend. Go birds
